Music is essential. I have eclectic tastes and choose my music according to my mood (don't we all!). For absolutely beautiful, anointed, classical music, my top choice is Eric Genuis. Then of course, there's Mozart and Beethoven--a little Bach, here and there...and then the "modern" stuff (in no particular order): Kutless, Barlow Girl, Rebecca St. James, Red, ZOEgirl, and a host of others...there's not enough room here to list them all...I just love music. |
|
I spend my life reading, so to name favourite books would be a never-ending job. Suffice it to say, I love a book that can tear at my emotions--whether it's a romance, mystery, or thriller.

The Lighthouse (2007)
AVAILABLE September 2007 from The Wild Rose Press
DANGEROUS LIAISON...
Rachel is in love with her best friend, but when Malachi doesn't seem interested, she turns to an international stranger whom she meets on the internet. At first, conversation is just a pastime, but soon, romantic fantasies form in her mind. Why not consider a man who travels across an ocean to meet her--a man who makes her feel wanted? After all, Malachi might as well be a world away--even if his concern does seem genuine when he warns her about the intriguing Frenchman.
RESCUE ON THE WAY...
Malachi has sworn not to interfere in Rachel's relationship, but he's in love with the head-strong woman who is determined to continue her budding romance. Yet, Malachi senses something isn't right about the playboy who has suddenly consumed Rachel's time, so he vows to save her from the stranger--and herself--even if it means losing her forever.

The Resurrection of Lady Somerset (2007)
AVAILABLE NOW From The Wild Rose Press
An age-old mystery, a risky assignment,
a marriage devised to suppress a secretÂ…
Ethereal Lark Blackwell has been hidden within Somerset Manor most of her young life. Few guessed her existence. With the death of her mentor comes the command to marry the new Lord Somerset. He is to protect her, to introduce her to Society, and to keep hidden the mystery of her beginnings. Ha! After his shocked tirade and obvious disdain of the arrangement, she would not marry him even if he were the last man on God's green earth.
Jonathon Rexley, Lord Somerset, cannot help falling in love with the mute beauty who talks with her hands. Without this marriage, the estate falls to his wastrel brother, who already seems to have charmed the lady. Gad, but he is torn. Despite his love, the possibility exists that in her fire-blackened past, she could be his half-sister. Marry her, yes. Touch her, never.
THE RESURRECTION OF LADY SOMERSET
may just be the death of the Jonathan Rexley

Nicola is first and foremost, a Christian. Without Christ, she would be nothing else. Secondly, she is a wife and mother. Finally, she is a lover of books and music, and so had no choice but to create both.
Born in England to an English mother and an American father, Nicola spent much of her childhood outside of the United States. Now she resides in the Southwest, in a 100 year-old house that provides great ambiance for writing and composing.

Knowing When to Quit

Doesn't that sound defeatist? I'm not a quitter by nature (although, there are times when I'm not a starter, either!)but sometimes, you just have to know when to quit. Last year, a colleague of mine challenged me to write a paranormal romance--someth...

Hi Nicola,
I see you write for The Wild Rose Press too. I never heard the name Nicola before Nicola Martinez our senior editor. I watched your trailers. They are so well done. Your books sound intriguing. I want to read them as soon as I can.
By they way, your grandson is beautiful.
Lots of Love,
Janelle

Hey Nicola,
Just seeing you here brought a big smile to my face. I had no idea! How did you find me?
You are soooo cute! I don't have a picture yet. Don't own a digital camera or scanner. Do I need to get one? Or maybe my niece could do it for me?
I must put up my book cover for Journey To Forgivness, also. The only way I have it is in the email you sent. Is there any way to transfer it from an email to my ShoutLife Portfolio? (I am not dumb, just green.) Thanks again for your beautiful artwork on the cover of my book.
It is sssoooooo good to see you here.
Laurie
